THE HIGH LICENCE LAW,

A good summary of the rev high license
law is given by Paxton, our Harrisburg
correspondent, in his letterto-day. Whilst
the new law has many excellent features
and commendable qualities, there are many
who will find fault with it, from the fact
shat it drives out of legitimate business
by heavy and orereus taxation the saloon
keeper who is doing business in the base
ment and on limited scale and puts it in
TO the hands of the proprietor of the more
pretentious and high-toned establishment,
creating thereby, as it were, monopoly of
the liquor traffic. Brewster, who is emin-
ent authority, claims that the new law is
unconstitutional from the above fact.
When the time comes for the abandonment
of the low saloon the dissatisfaction will be
more clearly xpressed-especially in small
country and mining towns. The new law,
If successfully carried out, however, will
regulate and correct the fragrant abuse of
the liquor system of this State, and from
this fact il has the earnest prayers and best
wishes of all law-abiding citizens for sue
cess.
One commendable feature of the new
law is that certain percentage of all Ii
censes paid shall revert to the use of bor-
Oughs and townships where said license is
granted. This will bring into the town
treasury every year a large amount and as
a consequence, will allow, in this tewn the
furtherance of many necessary improve
ments.

Theatricals are thriving though we are
getting towards the close of our season.
The Interstate Commerce bin has been
disastrous to companies on the road, and
quite number are back here stranded.
The theatrical event of the week has been
the production of Rienzi at Niblo's by Mr..
Lawrence Barrett To the credit of Mr..
Barrett be it recorded :hat he is the one
American in the higher walks of tragedy
who is not afraid to measure himself along
side of first-class company. It's between
ten and twelve years since Mr. Barrett ap-
peared at Booths theater as Cassius in
Julius C9sar-Davenport was the Brutus.
Bangs the Marc Anthony, Barrett was the
Cassius, and even surrounded by able ac-
tors he stood out the prominent figure In
the play. He has ripened since then; a
hard, painstaking student, be has labored
increasingly till he has placed himself at the
head of his profession inthe United States.
To witness "The Last of the Tribunes" Is
better than reading history. You are trans
ported back to Rome, and the scenes and
actors are such as You might have seen had
you sat on the Captoline Hill five hundred
years age. All the resources of scenic art
and costume have been brought into requis-
ition; nothing has been spared that can
add to the historic accuracy and interest of
the play. Mr.. Barrett has done much for
-he art which he so worthily represents, but
IN nothing has he surpassed his latest pro-
luctiofE-Rtehzi. The public response has
oeen generous and gratifying, more especi-
lily as IL is the recognition of the horest
work Of an American actor. What Mr..
irving Is to England Lawrence Barrett is
o the United States, and in elevating lim-
ell and his profession he has honestly
armed fame and fortune. BRoADBRIM.

HON. ". m. RAPsHER ros JUDGE uF THE
SUpRFME cOURT

The Democratic State Convention has
been called to meet at Allentown on Aug.
2lst. Two offices are to be filed at the
general election in November, State
Treasurer and Judge of the Supreme
Court are to he elected. To place suitable
men In nomlnatian and declare the pur-
poses of the Democracy will be the mission
Of the convention. For the position of
Judge, Carbon county has just the man
and lawyer that meets the requirements of
the position. He is fitted, qualified and in
the prime of life. His capabilities to fully
discharge the duties of the position, impair
TALLY and judcially, are beyond question.
The individual in view is the Hon. w. NJ
Rapsher, Of Mauch Chunk. Let the Dem
ocracy of Carbon county present his name
and urge It with an earnest purpose and
success may crown the effort
1t is not necessary for the ADVOCATE to
dwell upon the requirements of the posi-
tion, for all such as are acquainted with
Mr.. Rapsher are fully aware of the fact
that in every essential he is equipped to
fulfill the responsibilities of the place. AS
a man versed in the law he has few If any
supcriors. His ability and judicial capac-
ty is unquestioned and his fairness cannot
be impugned. lie is fit, he is capable and
Is worthy of the place.
For good many years this section of the
State-the strong Democratic section-has
had no representation on the State ticket.
II has year after year rolled up its unerring
majorities fer the party without any other
incentive but that which actuates good
This constancy and faithfulness to the
cause Of Democracy without any variable
ness Is worthy of recognition and reward !
If the candidacy, through his friends, is
properly presented to the consideration of |
the State Convention, on Aug. 31st, his |
nomination can be secured beyond perad-
venture. 1t would not only be a recogni- |
tion of the loyalty and constancy of the
Democracy of this Democratic stronghold,
but it would spur the faithful on to more
valor and more earnest work In the cause
of that principle which is the redeening
feature of our system of government and
the principle underlying it.
Again, let the Democracy of Carbon
county as one man rally to the support of
Mr.. Rapsher.
The ADVOCATE with some friends, have
taken the liberty to make these suggestions
without any consultation with the pro-
posed candidate.

BFOadbFimS New York Letter.

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
One OF the most delightful little strains
IN Gilbert and Sullivan's admirable operet-
ia of 'The Mikado," is that sung by the
Mikado hi himsslf--''Aad let the punishment
1T the crime ,the punishment fit the crime"
The press Of eur city is on broad erin at
the collapse OF one of their blanket con-
semporaries, more remarkable for enter
prise than discretion, who, instead Of doing
as the Mikado did-in making the punish
nent suit the erims-endeayered TO make
the crime suit the punishment with most
disastrous result. Several weeks ago, The
remains of young woman were found on
tie outskigts OF Railway, n. j.. she had
been murdered the previous night. Next
day the town was alive with reporters from
New YORK, Philadelphia, Newark, Patter-
son and numbeFless other towns in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey aaG New York.
Your modern city reporter is not merely a
scribe and an interviewer; he is a sef-con-
stituted detective in all that that implies.
So in the case of the Railway murder, each
reporter had to build up an independent
theory, and then work it as matter of
news for all it was worth. With an enter
prize and zeal that challenged astonish-
ment and admiration, the New York
World entered the lists TO elucidate the
Railway mystery. Holding the lightning
IN one hand, and an unlimited money bag
in the other, it did not take it long to dis
tanoe all competitors. The enterprising
young gentleman 10 whom the matter as
entrusted, was not long in fixing the iden-
tity OF the murdered girl. Her name was
Anna Larsen; she was a native of Den

The River Steamers.

Although the railroads do a great pOr-
ton of the business formerly done by the
river steamers, a number of steamboats,
are still profitably plying the waters OF
the st. Johns River, and they report a
fair business for this season of the year
both in the freight and passenger line.
The DeBary Line runs two regular
passenger and freight boats, the City of
Jacksonville and the III. Ii. Plant, besides
two freight boats which run on irregular
schedules, all landing at the Florida
Southern wharf. The regular boats pass
here going up the river every night at
nine O'Clock, and coming down at 1890
a. M. At Capt. Adams wharf a number
of boats land. The steamer Crescent
City, ON the route between Jacksonville
and Crescent City, lands here each day,
The steamer Georgia, of the DraytOn
Island route, arrives every morning, and
usually brings good list of
passengers and freight. The fleet
little steamer Curlew also arrives every
day from Tocoi, and is doing nice
little business. The steamer Marion, of
the Ocklawaha line, lands at this dock,
and makes weekly trips to Silver Springs
and return. The steamer VictOrine
lands at the Larkin House dock, and
makes daily trips between this city and
Crescent City.
The steam ferry boat Louise, plying
between the st. Augustine and Palatka
and the st. Johns and Halifax Railroads,
and the railroads on this side of the
river, makes frequent trips, and is al
ways crowded with passengers or freight
Capt. Lucas two steamers are kept al
most constantly going, either on the
ferry, conveying excursion parties or
doing other work in his line. Besides
these a number of smaller boats belong
ing to private parties arrive each day.
The river is much livelier, and more
business is done ON it than at first sight
one would suppose.

The citizens Of Riverside. fiouIishing
little settlement up on the Ocklawaha
river are honest people, il the reports we
hear of them be true. A gentleman
from Illinois has been running a store up
there for the past two years, which was
conducted in such free and easy man.
ner that nearly everybody in the settle
ment became indebted to the proprietor.
A week or so ago the gentlemen deter
mined to go back to his old home and
sold out the store, and started around to
collect up the accounts that had accu-
INFLATED on his books. Last week he
left for his home with every dollar that
was due him in his pocket, not a man
or woman in the whole neighborhood
failing to pay him all they owed. We
doubt if similar case can be found on
record, and we would not hesitate to
recommend that neighborhood to any man
who waited to make his home among
honest deople.
